Script Name: Blackjack | Script Author: Mmartin Introduction & How to Play: Blackjack is a casino card game that involves both skill and chance. The objective of the game is to beat the dealer by having a hand value that is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand, without exceeding 21, which is called "busting." Here are the basics of how to play: Card Values: Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value. Kings, Queens, and Jacks are worth 10 points each, and Aces can be either 1 or 11, depending on what benefits the player's hand. The Deal: At the start of a game, each player, including the dealer, is dealt two cards. The player's cards are usually dealt face up, while the dealer has one card face up (known as the "upcard") and one card face down (the "hole card"). Player Decisions: After the initial deal, players have the option to "hit" (take another card) or "stand" (keep their current hand). Players can continue to hit until they decide to stand or until they bust. Dealer's Play: Once all players have completed their hands, the dealer reveals their hole card. With regular rules, dealers must hit until their hand totals at least 17, however the casino owner may alter these settings. Winning and Losing: If the player's hand exceeds the dealer's hand without busting, the player wins. If the player busts, they automatically lose, even if the dealer busts. If the dealer busts and the player does not, the player wins. Ties result in the player receiving 100% of their bet back. A "Blackjack" happens when your first two initial card total 21 (Ace + 10/J/Q/K), this will pay out an additional prize, set by the casino. Win/Loss Scenarios: If dealer bust, player wins (200% of bet); If player's total is larger than dealer's total, player wins (gets back 200% of bet); If player's total is lower than dealer's total, player loses (gets back 0% of the bet); If player's total is equal to dealer's total, player ties (gets back 100% of the bet); If player has a Blackjack (Ace and a ten-card), and the dealer does not have a blackjack, player is paid out according to ratio set in /bjtable (for 3:2 that'd get them back 250% of the bet); If player has a total of 21, and dealer has Blackjack, player loses (gets back 0% of the bet); If player has a Blackjack, and dealer has total of 21, player wins (according to payout ratio, by default 250% of the bet); If both player and dealer have Blackjack, player ties (gets back 100% of the bet); Player Guide How to Join a Table: To join a blackjack table session, approach a configured blackjack table and press "U", then use your mouse to navigate the UI to either "join" the table, or choose "info" to view the table rules set by the table owner. UI Transparency: By clicking on the paint pallet icon in the UI, you are able to make the UI transparent. How to Make Actions: The UI will guide you through the full gameplay, asking you to make an action when it is your turn, use your mouse to select the action that you wish to take. Available actions are dependant on the scenario. Possible actions are: Place a Bet: This is your initial action, allowing you to choose how much you wish to bet. Hit: You may be prompted with the option to "hit" when it is your turn, this will deal you another card. Stand: You may be prompted with this option when it is your turn. If you choose to stand, your turn will be over. Double: If your hand value total is 9, 10, or 11, you will have the option to double down. Doing this will double your bet and provide you with one more card, then automatically stand. You may only double if you have not yet done a hit or stand action. Split: If your initial 2 cards are of equal value, you will be given the option to "split". If you split, your bet will be doubled and your cards will be split into 2 separate hands, and each hand will be dealt a new card. You will then be able to play each hand separately. Surrender: Surrender can be chosen as your first action after receiving your first 2 cards, doing this will return 50% of your bet and remove you from the game. Game Interruptions: If you walk away from the table or disconnect, you will be marked as "away" for other players. If the decision timer for your play reaches 0, even if you are not at the table, one of the following will happen: If you haven't made an action, you will default to surrender. If you have previously hit, you will default to a stand. Player Commands /bjspectate [ID of player in the game] Table Owner Guide How to Setup a Table: You will first need to purchase a blackjack table from the furnishing system and place it. Once placed, use /bjtable to configure the table settings. Once a table is enabled, you will see markers on the table positions. You must put money in the table till initially in order to cover the bets and any possible wins. Players will not be able to play if there is no money in the table. Within the configuration menu, you will be able to set the follow: Number of decks in a pack that's dealt for the table. The minimum bet. The maximum bet. The amount of cash in the table till - Only when there's no active games. Toggle practice mode - Once enabled, no real money is used from either players or your table's till. Toggle whether the deal hits/stands on soft 17 Blackjack payout ratio. Background image of the table. Decision timeout for each hand. Table Owner Commands /bjtable Media

Script Name: Burglary & Property Security | Script Author: danut Introduction An important part of roleplaying is finally getting the attention it needs. Gone are the days when you forgot if you locked your property's door or you feared that anybody could just break into your apartment and steal your hard-earned drugs & cash. With the new Burglary & Property Security system, we're offering opportunities for legal and illegal roleplayers alike. Eyrie The highlight of our system is the property security and how it will impact you as a property owner or as a company CEO. First of all, this system introduces Eyrie – the new home security phone application & security systems provider. You will be able to notice the new app has been installed on your phone automatically this by just glancing at your phone's home screen! The home screen of a player's phone showcasing the newly installed Eyrie App. Eyrie will be the control centre of your home's security systems; from here, you will be able to turn your systems on and off (given that you are close to your house), check their status or just view the history of notifications that your systems have generated in the last 30 days. It really is that easy! All players that have access to your property will be able to access Eyrie just like you are, so be careful of who you're gonna trust! Obtaining a Security System In order for you to obtain a security system powered by Eyrie, you will need to own a property (or manage it, if your company has any properties). The rest? You'll need to get in touch with companies that offer Security services (such as Totally Secure Dude or Gruppe Sechs) and ask for a quote. Once you've gotten a quote from a company, they will be able to come to your property and install a shiny new alarm or lock to your property so you never live with fear for your belongings! A list of all the security systems available from all security contractors. After you've gotten your quote and had your system installed you can access your system through Eyrie at any time as described in the previous section. Be aware! Your subscription fee will be collected automatically every week by your security contractor company, so make sure you have enough money in your bank if you don't want them to take your shiny new toys away! Burglary "Okay, I don't care about none of that. How do I break into a property?" – we've heard you loud and clear. Now that we've gotten through the process of explaining how house security works for property owners it's time for all the criminals out there to find out how they're gonna start doing what they do best: crimes (I guess?). In order for you to get ready for breaking into other player's properties (or businesses), you'll need a Lockpick and a Crowbar. You can buy these from one of the many Tools Stores spread around Los Santos (you can find out about them ICly). The /lockpick mini-game. After you're done with obtaining the tools, it's on! Make your homework and pick out the best property that you can find to test your lockpicking skills. You will have to be at the property's entrance, equip your lockpick and start putting those skills to work; you'll have to go through the same minigame that you get when you try to break/hotwire into a car (subject to change at a later date). Once you are inside the house, you will be able to break into furniture doors and inventories by using the crowbar that we have mentioned previously by using /forceopen [(d)oor/(i)nventory]. Commands /lock [(d)oor/(i)nventory] /forceopen [(d)oor/(i)nventory] /lockpick /offersecurity (Restricted to employees of companies with Security contract) /securitysystems /property (or /properties) - Security - View Contract
